    Morpheus' Garden by ManicR - ONESHOT
    Title: Teeth
    Author: ManicR
    Status: Complete/ONESHOT
    Rating: T
    Genre: Horror/General

    Summary: Tea, poppy and pomegranates. Harry avoids his dreams for he is waiting there. Pre-Hogwarts.

    Link: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3181972/1/
    New Link: Childhood Dreams and Growing Up (Collection of One-Shots)

    While not as creepy as his other oneshot "Teeth", this one still manages to show another creepier aspect of Harry's life.

    Still pretty freaky, IMO. I have a funny feeling this guy has probably read too much Stephen King.

    4/5

    Yeah, i read a couple more of his one shots. the guy or girl is pretty damn good at them. But the more your read, the more fucked up they get.
    I still like the teeth one the best. this one deserves 4/5.
    Here is a link to another one of his stories.

    What is this author thinking wasting time making fanfiction when he/she can write original horror stories for cold hard cash?

    The only thing i got against him or her is that fact that he or she writes slash.

    Thank you.

    Umm... Firstly, I'm a girl. Secondly, thank you very much for liking my fics. I'm so flattered that I'm embarrassed... :eek:

    I have only read one Stephen King novel, Everything is Eventual and I read it last week because people mentioned that my fics resembled it.

    Yeah, I missed the pedophilia label at the beginning of the story. Pardon me while I go throw up...

    I walked into that one wide eyed. That was hair raising creepy. Very well done manic, and props on using other references for the story, makes a read more interesting.

    Only critique is that it is very short. A follow up sequence would have rounded of the story more, giving it an ending. This had the feel of a set-up for a longer fic.

    4/5

    FF.net version of this has disappeared. I have that version saved in the DLP.net Archives, but there is also a version of this on ManicR's Insane Journal, found here. Could someone please edit the first post to reflect the location of the fic? Thanks!

    This fic got folded into a collection of the author's oneshots. New link is here:

    http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3457444/5/Childhood_Dreams_and_Growing_Up

    If a mod could alter the original post, that would be outstanding.

    As for the ficlet itself, it's definitely all kinds of creepy. It basically narrates the nightmare of a pre-Hogwarts Harry. There's not much of a point, but the atmosphere of horror is so well-done that it doesn't really matter.

    4/5
